Polynesian Resort music

[Susiesnowflake]

I was listening to a Putamaya CD the other night on the radio, and they played one track of Polynesian sounding music. I got so excited and felt like I was back at the Polynesian Resort! It sounded just like one of the musicians you hear singing on the resort tape. I know that's not available for purchase, but can anyone recommend any good CDs with music similar to what you'd hear at the Polynesian? Tikiman or any other Poly lovers? Thanks!

Bumping this in hopes that someone can make a suggestion.

Well, I don't remember exactly what type of music it was that they play in the Polynesian, but I've bought many great Hawaiian music CDs through Amazon. You can just type in Polynesia (or whichever place you'd like to "visit") in the search line of the music section and start there.

There is also a section for Pacific Island music:

P.S. One Hawaiian vocal artist I like a lot is the late great Israel Kamakawiwo'ole (aka Bruddah IZ). He recorded music in both Hawaiian and English.
